Very few.
There was 2 female accountants in the accounting majors. Only 2.
Are you one of the 2? I was one of the 2.
And so I went right through my accounting degree, and then I got my MBA, and then I went into teaching at the collegiate level. Because, you know, it's kind of like it is now. There isn't that many people that want to go into that area in the accounting and finance area, and I had a minor in finance and economics. So I taught for several years at the college level, and I really enjoyed that. But that really gave me a skill set to talk in front of people and kind of have their attention and make them listen. And, and, you know, that kind of side of me that hadn't ever been developed before. And then, then I got married. And my husband got transferred. And so I thought, you know what, I think I'll sit for the CPA exam, see how that goes. And so I—

See how that goes. Don't you just love her? Got my accounting, got my MBA, and I'll just see how it goes with the CPA exam.
I'll be a trailblazer too while I'm at it.
